When I look back on the film I kinda of feel that he was.
I think they should of casted a young Ben Stiller in the roll of instead.

Keith Gordon was far too serious in the role though.

I never had a problem with Keith Gordon. I don't think Jason was supposed to be the "cool" kid. Keith's awkwardness is important to the role I think.

Not much.
Most of you are right Ben Stiller would of been a bad choice for the role.
Anyone know who would of been a better choice though?

What would the difference between Keith Gordon and a young Ben Stiller be?

First off, it's "role". Second, yes, he was miscast.
He is a massive dork and would never be able to land that hot chick.

Ben stiller is soD amn annoying. He plays the part in everything he's in. I'd take Keith Gordon anytime over Dildo stiller!

I liked him fine in this. I don't think he was miscast at all.

I enjoyed this film. I think that Keith was fine in this, but I think he gave a better performance in "Christine" though.

absolute tool he was; he is easily the worst part of this otherwise fine film. The scene with him laughing in class in cringe-worthyit's THAT bad.
